Clear, pale golden yellow. Clean nose with medum intensity aromas of ripe tropical fruit, honeysuckle, pineapple, citrus, and a clean savory note like lanolin. Dry on the palate with medium-full body, medium acidity. Flavors of tropical fruit, pineapple, banana, and fragrant white flowers. Medium finish. Recommended 89-90. RR WHO: Alchemy
